I reread Paladin's Grace (The Saint of Steel, #1) by T. Kingfisher
K.J. Charles’s review of Paladin's Grace
Reread in prep for book 4 which is coming ANY MINUTE and will feature the delightful Marguerite, who has a great supporting role in this. A delightful fluffy romance with a high severed head count. ...

If you're doing NaNoWriMo, here is the #1 advice I can give you: Read Story Genius by Lisa Cron. Use it as a workbook to plot your story, or at least the character arc and major beats. You'll have more momentum, a better chance of finishing, and less Blank Page Terror.

This was a drunk delete when I was feeling particularly irate and now I kinda regret the choice but also uncertain if I will do anything about it. :(
I deleted my X account today. I feel ... a bit angry. Why did some asshole billionaire have to wreck something that was so good. No perfect but really good.

@aijiang.bsky.social I just read We Are a Little Hotel in @interzone.press, laughed and passed it straight to my wife @sacalfee.bsky.social. I loved this one.

KJ Charles's Doomsday series is awesome! The setting is nearly a character of its own. There is adventure, mystery, dastardly villains, romance heros with so much chemistry together, fun and interesting characters, complex themes. Book 2 kept me up till midnight to finish. #Romancelandia #queerbooks

#Romancelandia ❤️I think I must have a thing for the brooding, overthinking hero as I kind of fell for Michael :) My review of The Shot by KW Thomas @kiathomasedits.bsky.social

Jenny Editor’s review of The Shot
I think I loved this second book in the series even more than the first! Michael might be a tad miserable and a massive overthinker, but he is utterly charming and direct when he needs to be. Miranda ...

How does my brain believe simultaneously that rugby practice is from 10am to 11am but also that I must leave with the boys for rugby practice at 10am?! Gentle reader, we did not make it to rugby practice.

The correct answer is obviously B.
What do you choose?
A. All books are free.
B. All book are awesome.
C. Your fave character comes to life.
D. You get paid to read.
Everyone on FB chose D from this series. What 😳?! #Romancelandia #books #writing #authors #editors

Most of the sapphic novels I review have sex, some super hot. I’d like to recommend (among others) Jaime Clevenger, Leigh Hays, Milena McKay, Rachel Lacey (especially her indie books), Fiona Riley… I haven’t read JJ Arias yet but I hear she should be on the list. For more recs, see my blog

Today's catch-up on recorded sessions from #CIEP2023 was @sacalfee.bsky.social's utterly brilliant workshop on 'Writing awesome developmental fiction editing reports' – an open, honest, informative, entertaining and encouraging look at both failure and success in developmental editing.

I've lived outside the USA for twelve years, and I was really pleased to see the large romance section at Barns & Noble in Sterling Heights, MI. Is that a norm these days, #Romancelandia?

Hi everyone! I'm an editor for Harlequin & Carina Press/Carina Adores. Right now, I'm really interested in acquiring romantasy/fantasy romance, sports romance, and contemporary romance with big themes/big feelings. Also looking for dark/taboo! #romancelandia #writingcommunity #amwriting #amquerying

Tragedy has occurred and my number one coping strategy is stories: reading books during the day, listening to audio books at night, watching movies in the evening. #romancelandia #books #reading #editors #authors #writing
